Really interesting #study I hadn't seen before explaining our tendency to add components (rather than subtract) when solving problems, which can be revered with #SocialEngineering and prompting!

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03380-y

Really liked this explanation as to what's going on:

"[A]dditive changes may be incrementally easier to process. Any component that can be subtracted must first be understood as part of the artefact before it can be considered as ‘not’ part of the artefact."

"The ngEHT has placed a major institutional bet on redrawing the lines that have confined academics to separate departments, professional gatherings and research funding panels in response to the challenges faced by modern science."

Dear academics,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any reliable way to search specifically for a literature review?
Like suppose I don't want to become an expert on the psychology of moral learning, but I *do* want to have a sense of the general literature and positions in that literature. I find myself on Google Scholar sorting through hundreds of articles, and it feels extremely inefficient. Is there a better way?

"I find evidence that the practical fruit of Christian nationalism is not love; it is power, control, domination, fear and violence.

Christian nationalism makes... Christians less Christlike."

This is big. 110 new faculty members to be recruited at Johns Hopkins to create a new institute to 'bring together world-class experts in #AI, #MachineLearning, applied #Mathematics, computer #Engineering, and #CompSci.

I hope some are #SocialScience oriented and some with a focus on #Education. I fear it's unlikely because most such investments tend to be siloed to the 'sciences' despite the obvious connections of AI to world we live and learn in.

Wooooo! I handed in the revision of my latest nonfiction book, which should be out by next summer from WW Norton. Here's a sneak peek at the table of contents. #books #history #psychologicalwar #psyops #socialscience

What’s the company / organisation equivalent of these:
- egocentric
- ethnocentric
- anthropocentric
- ecocentric

Would it be “orgocentric”? Capital-centric or boss-centric might work, but wouldn’t necessarily extend to, for example, public sector or non-profit orgs that primarily / exclusively focus on their own benefit and perpetuation
